Biography
In 48 BCE, while on his way to Memphis to map out the city, Corteseos was knocked out by a boy named Apheru in the mastabas outside the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Medjay, Bayek, came across his unconscious body in the mastabas before being knocked out as well. Apheru took Corteseos' notes and Bayek's heron feather, leaving them in the desert.
When Corteseos regained conscious, he helped Bayek up on his feet and explained his situation to him. Bayek promised to help Corteseos recover his notes, before leaving to follow the tracks left behind by the thiefs.
Bayek fulfiled his promise, returning to Corteseos with his notes. When Apheru and his siblings, responsible for stealing Corteseos' notes, came to visit, Bayek helped to clear up the misunderstnaidng, telling Corteoseos that the children were most to steal for bandits from the Adorer of Thoth Tomb. Upon learning that the kids needed passage back to the house of Nef in Memphis, Corteseos offered to travel along with kids to ensure their safety.
